Wonderful Introduction to South Africa!
2024-08-07
Mike led this tour and was a great host. He had deep knowledge of Johannesburg and the history of South Africa, which he willingly shared. He was also very aware of my energy levels as I had just arrived in the prior day. Unfortunately the Apartheid Museum was unexpectedly closed, but Mike and Tim quickly pivoted to ensure I had a good historical perspective. Overall it was a great trip and a perfect introduction to South Africa!
Exceptional Experience! Thank You Tim & Mike!

We had an unforgettable experience with Tim as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We had a great Safari tour and also experience the local neighborhood / Townships and the Apartheid museum. You can talk openly about everything. Highly recommended!!
